Course Description

This unit covers effects of energy on machinery and/or materials used in an Electrotechnology environment are identified and completed in an agreed time, to a quality standard and using appropriate technology mediums, where required. It encompasses working safely, applying knowledge of identifying the effects of energy on machinery and materials in an electrotechnology environment

National Codes, Titles, Elements and Performance Criteria

National Element Code & Title:	UEENEEE046B Identify affects of energy on machinery and materials in an electrotechnology environment
Element:	1. Prepare to identify effects of energy on machinery and materials. 2. Identify effects of energy on machinery and materials. 3. Check results of the effects of energy on machinery and materials.
Performance Criteria:	1.1 Instructions for identifying effects of energy on machinery or materials are communicated and confirmed to ensure clear understanding. 1.2 OHS policies and procedures are communicated and confirmed to ensure they are understood as they apply to the carrying out of the work. 1.3 Tools, equipment and personnel protective equipment necessary for the work are identified, scheduled and checked to ensure they work correctly as intended and are safe to use in accordance with established procedures. 1.4 Appropriate personnel are consulted to ensure effects of energy on machinery or materials are identified and coordinated effectively with others involved. 1.5 Resources and materials needed to do the work are confirmed, scheduled and obtained in accordance with established procedures. 1.6 Schedule for identifying effects of energy on machinery or materials including practices for working safely are confirmed in accordance with instructions and requirements. 2.1 OHS policies and procedures and safe workpractices are followed to eliminate or minimize incidents. 2.2 Schedule for identifying effects of energy on machinery or materials work is followed to ensure work is completed in an agreed time, to a quality standard and with a minimum of waste. 2.3 Further instructions are sought from appropriate personnel in the event of unplanned happenings or conditions. 2.4 Ongoing checks of work quality are undertaken in accordance with instructions and requirements. 3.1 Final checks are made to ensure the effects of energy on machinery or materials as identified conforms with instructions and to requirements. 3.2 Appropriate personnel are notified of completion of the computations. Check results of the effects of energy on machinery and materials. 3.3 Tools, equipment and any surplus resources and materials are, where appropriate, cleaned, checked and returned to storage in accordance with established procedures. 3.4 Work area is cleaned up and made safe and sustainable energy practices are followed. 3.5 Appropriate records are updated in accordance with instructions and established procedures.

Learning Outcomes

Details of Learning Activities

Classroom learning activities involve the following topics from the Applied Physiscs:

• Electromagnetism
• Motion
• Light and matter
• Atoms and nuclei
• Heating

Simulated work activities to consolidate the theory and concepts in relation to identifying effects of energy on machinery and materials in electrotechnology environment.

It is expected that students would require approximately 20% of course hours to be allocated for independent study to do project research on effects of energy on machinery and materials in an electrotechnology environment.

Overview of Assessment

This course will be assessed through a range of practical exercises, assignments and progressive tests.

Assessment Tasks

Assessment task 1 (Practical exercises and demonstration in simulated workplace): 20% (Should attend and submit the lab work to get these marks)

e.g. Practical exercises on load effects on machine power and efficiency

Assessment task 2 (Assignment ): 40%

Written assignment to demonstrate an understanding of effects of energy on machinery and materials in an electrotechnology environment

Assessment task 3 (written assessment): 40% (to pass this course students should get at least 50% in the final test)

Written test to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of Applied Physics concepts involving: motion, light and matter, atoms and heating.
